I live on a street named
after a Saint
Women in the churches wear
powder and paint
Where the Jews and Catholics
and the Muslims all pray
I can tell they're Proddie
from a mile away
Goodbye Jimmy Reed
Jimmy Reed indeed
Give me that old time religion
it's just what I need
For thine is kingdom
the power the glory
Go tell it on the mountain
go tell the real story
Tell it in that straightforward
puritanical tone
In the mystic hours
when a person's alone
Goodbye Jimmy Reed godspeed
Thump on the Bible
proclaim a creed

You won't amount to much
the people all said
'Cause I didn't play guitar
behind my head
Never pandered never acted proud
Never took off my shoes
throw 'em in the crowd
Goodbye Jimmy Reed
goodbye goodnight
Put a jewel in your crown
and I put out the lights

They threw everything at me
everything in the book
I had nothing to fight
with but a butcher's hook
They had no pity
they never lend a hand
I can't sing a song
that I don't understand
Goodbye Jimmy Reed
goodbye good luck
I can't play the record
'cause my needle got stuck
Transparent woman
in a transparent dress
Suits you well I must confess
I'll break open your grapes
I'll suck out the juice
I need you like my head
needs a noose
Goodbye Jimmy Reed
goodbye and so long
I thought I could resist her
but I was so wrong

God be with you brother dear
If you don't mind me
asking what brings you here
Oh nothing much
I'm just looking for the man
Need to see where he's lying
in this lost land
Goodbye Jimmy Reed
and everything within ya
Can't you hear me calling
from down in Virginia
